Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

If you could only choose 10 lifts... what would you pick?

My 10:

Conventional deadlift
Front squat
Chin ups (neutral grip for my dodgy shoulder)
Incline press (DB or football bar for my dodgy shoulder)
DB bench-supported row (or DB 1-arm row)
Landmine press (dodgy shoulder)
Weighted push ups
Ab wheel roll out
Farmers walk
DB alternate curl with supination

The only lift that matters is the one that gets me to the labs/school office, because no matter how much time I spend in the gym, those 5 flights of stairs still kill me.

I don't think I could even name ten different lifts before I clicked on this thread.

Lol. I guess I could say the KB swing isn't a lift. Nice list though - squats, some olympic stuff and presses.

The only lift I use is the one to get into my flat (on the second floor). Forgive me but you giving 10 spaces on this list is hardly making me choose.

It's****ingWOODY

Hammer Strength chest press
Arnold press
Lat pulldowns
Close grip cable row
Wide grip cable row
Dumbbell curl
Cable tricep extension
Leg press
Seated hammie curl
Calf press machine

Lack of free weight exercises there really, but at my stage of development I genuinely feel that working with cables and machines is benefiting me in terms of mass building just as much as free weights would and I'm also minimising the risk of injury. The above are the exercises that I feel are giving me the best results at the moment and all bases are covered, no stone (or muscle) left unturned.
